...It would work for darts. Contact poisons can be used as if they were injury poisons, so they can be applied to and delivered via darts just fine.

Aaaaand I just asked my DM. Dangit.

Well. It's an answer at least.

I'm considering making a Pathfinder character that uses a blowgun and poison-tipped darts in combat. She'll be picking up plenty of ranks in Craft (Alchemy) so she should be able to extract and prepare her own poisons (rather than pay some fairly exorbitant prices for each dose) and dipping darts in poison runs no risk of exposing the user to the stuff. Multiple doses of poison stack as well, so it'd be a great way for her to contribute to boss battles once she runs out of spells.

The problem is, the rules for poison seem a little iffy. It says that poisons delivered via an injury (say, from a monster attack or a weapon coated in the stuff) have no onset periods and start taking effect almost at once. However, in the great big poison chart provided afterwards it seems as though each individual kind of poison has its own method of delivery and only some of them include injuries. The other methods can take anywhere from several minutes to several hours to begin affecting the target. Does this mean that only poisons delivered via injury can be applied to weapons? If not, if any poison can be applied to a weapon, does the regular method of delivery take precedence over the injury rules or the other way around?

I wound up mostly in the middle, but I did lean mostly towards progressivism and regulation. Coulda been worse.

Flag is super ugly though.

I'm pretty sure Steam has been running a Lunar New Year sale for the past couple of years. It just doesn't get quite as much attention as the biggies (Summer and Winter sales).

I also think that you’re less likely to get unpleasant diseases as a result of getting basic medical attention in regards to clean needles and such.

Who’da think it: treating people like people is a good thing.

tobacco isn't nearly the problem it was 60 years ago, for example.

As far as I'm concerned cigarettes are basically pure poison still

People got the right to make their own decisions and put whatever they want into their body’s, min.

The problem with some things, cigarettes being one of them, is that the stuff can easily get into other people without their consent. And don't just say "oh well they can move away from the smoker", secondhand smoke can do incredible damage to any children that you might be living with and they have next to zero say in the matter.

And now the illusionist had a magic tome? Clearly things had been busy while she had been trying to kill bandits.

"I assume you can use that thing?"
